8. Philadelphia 76ers vs. San Antonio Spurs

San Antonio is a likely candidate to come out of the Western Conference, and are also the least exciting of the remaining teams out west.

The Sixers find themselves in a 3-2 hole to the Boston Celtics, so if by some miracle they can come back, beat the Miami Heat or Indiana Pacers and get to face San Antonio in the Finals, expect a whooping.

This would likely draw a record low in TV viewers and force David Stern to increase the playoffs an extra round in an attempt to make up lost revenue.

4. Boston Celtics vs. San Antonio Spurs

Two of the best power forwards in the history of the NBA squaring off in what is now the twilight of their careers, Tony Parker vs. Rajon Rondo and countless old people jokes would make this a somewhat intriguing matchup.

Due to the history of these two teams and their success in recent years, this matchup would be compelling enough to watch, but would still seem somewhat disappointing.

A Boston-OKC Finals would carry many storylines and certainly make for a very compelling matchup. While it still wouldn't be the sexiest meeting the NBA could conjure, things are definitely heating up.

1. Miami Heat vs. Oklahoma City Thunder

This is the matchup NBA fans have wanted to see before the season even kicked off.

The Heat returning to the Finals, looking for redemption. The Thunder taking the next step in their quest for NBA dominance. Both teams carry plenty of intrigue, and would be a Finals even the non-NBA fan would be curious to see who came out on top.

The Heat and Thunder are not only two of the best teams in the league, but also two of the most exciting to watch. The way each chose to build their team in completely opposite ways also adds an extra level of intrigue.

This would be a Finals matchup for the ages, and could also be the same matchup for years to come.
